The "side chest" is a popular pose in bodybuilding that showcases the development of the upper body, particularly the chest, shoulders, and arms. In this pose, the body is turned sideways to the judges, with one arm flexed and the other relaxed. This position highlights muscle definition and symmetry, allowing competitors to display their physique effectively. To perform the side chest pose, the individual stands with their feet shoulder-width apart and turns their body to the side. The flexed arm is typically placed across the chest, emphasizing the pectoral muscles. This pose is often seen in competitions, such as those organized by IFBB or NPC.
